heritage of Italian culture and tradition. So now that you

5.1 Features and Benefits
What You Grind is What You Brew
The compact and
patented
Direct-to-Brew System
with Thermo Block
technology provides excellent heat distribution and it’s
removable for easy cleaning. The beans are ground
instantly to ensure the freshest espresso or coffee.
Professional-Quality Conical Burr Grinder
Integrated burr
grinder produces consistent, fresh and aromatic espresso
or coffee. Grind settings allow you to adjust the fineness
for all types of beans.
Instant Reheat Function
The instant reheat function heats
the core of the machine, ensuring that Magnifica
maintains an ideal temperature for brewing.
Patented Cappuccino System Frother
This special frothing
system includes a chamber that mixes steam and milk to
create a rich creamy froth. It’s perfect for making the
ideal cappuccino, latte or any other frothy milk espresso
/ coffee beverage.
Espresso / Coffee Flavor and Quantity Controls
Two
separate easy-to-use control dials allow you to easily
make adjustments to espresso / coffee strength and
brewed espresso / coffee amounts.
Automatic Controls and Indicators
The water level and
used coffee containers are monitored automatically for
worry-free use. There are also indicators for rinsing,
cleaning and decalcifying. This will facilitate care and
maintenance of the machine.
EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 4
6: Introduction To Crema
What is an Authentic Espresso?
To appreciate the quality and consistency of the
Magnifica, you need to understand what makes a good
espresso. The identifying mark of an authentic Italian
espresso can be found in the brown layer of foam that
lies on top of a properly brewed espresso. The brown
foam, referred to as the “crema”, is the essence of a
perfect espresso. The crema holds all of the compounds
that constitute the aroma and flavor of an espresso. A
good crema will last about thirty to ninety seconds
before it dissipates completely, once this has happened,
the aromatics are infused into the drink to deliver an
authentic-tasting espresso.

EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 13
14
correct delivery of the espresso / coffee.
2. If after making the first espresso / coffee the
delivery it too fast or too slow (in drops), the grinding
coarseness must be adjusted using the coffee
grinder dial (Figure 3) located inside the bean
container.
3. Turning one click (one number) clockwise
achieves faster delivery of the espresso / coffee and
a coarser ground coffee.
4. Turning one click (one number) counter-clockwise
achieves slower delivery of the espresso / coffee and
a finer ground coffee (and makes the coffee
creamier in appearance).
5. These adjustments will only be evident after the
delivery of at least 2 cups of espresso / coffee.
6. The coffee grinder dial must only be turned when the
coffee grinder is on.
11.3 Filling the Ground Coffee Container (If you are
using pre-ground coffee)
• Never add the pre-ground coffee when the machine
is off.
• Never add more than 1 full measure of pre-ground
coffee. The ground coffee funnel will get blocked.
• When dosing the quantity of pre-ground coffee to be
added, only use the measuring scoop provided.
• Use only pre-ground coffee specifically for use in
espresso machines. Do not use whole coffee beans,
freeze-dried coffee or other materials that may
damage the machine.
• Never use instant coffee. It could severely damage
the brewing system.
Tip:
Before filling the ground coffee container, make
sure to remove any foreign objects.
7. Open the ground coffee container lid (located in
the center of the machine). To prepare one espresso / coffee and
add just one level measure of pre-ground coffee

half a turn clockwise (Figure 8) to terminate the flow of water.
13. Wait for the and lights to stop flashing.
When the lights are flashing, the machine is still pre-
heating.
14. The machine will automatically perform a rinse
cycle and a little hot water will release from the
coffee spouts and collect in the drip tray.
15. Once the lights illuminate steadily, the machine
has reached the ideal temperature for making
espresso/coffee and is now ready for use.
16. Note: Before preparing the espresso/coffee,
always make sure that the green and
lights are on steadily.
11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial
1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9)
to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee
from regular, strong to extra strong.
2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity

• Large (long/double shot/American coffee): 5 oz. to 8 oz. of coffee
15
Figure 7
Figure 8
Figure 9
EAM3200_manual_final 5/19/04 11:50 AM Page 15
16
Note: It is recommended to add a bit of sugar to
“ristretto” or “espresso” coffee. Drink the large
(American coffee) black or add sugar and milk if
you prefer.

A cup of latte is one shot of espresso (or two shots for a double latte),
1/2 cup steamed milk with about 1/2 to 1/3 froth.
• Use this feature to heat up liquids or to froth or steam milk for
cappuccinos or lattes.
• The milk frother must be cleaned after each use. Please refer to the
“Cleaning and Maintenance” section of the manual for more detailed
instructions.
Before First Use:
1. The removable parts of the milk frother (milk frother body and steam
nozzle) are high precision parts. Always keep these two parts clean
and free of milk residue. (See “Cleaning and Maintenance” section of
the manual for more detailed instructions on cleaning.)
Ready to Begin Frothing or Steaming:
1. Fill a container (metal container is recommended) with about 3.5 oz.
of cold milk.
2. Note: Skim (0% fat) milk is recommended. It will produce the most
froth and will let you taste more of the espresso / coffee. 1% and 2%
milk will produce less froth, and regular milk (3% fat) will give you half or
less than half the froth of skim milk.
3. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the volume
will increase by two or three times.

4. Move the milk frother to the outside of the machine.
5. Prepare the espresso / coffee as described in
section 12 of the manual, using sufficiently large cups.
6. Press the steam function button (Figure 17). The
light (Figure 18) starts flashing to indicate that the
machine is heating up.
7. When the light remains on steadily (without
flashing), the temperature of the machine has reached the ideal
temperature for making steam.
8. Immediately after (within a span of no more than 2
minutes, otherwise the machine automatically
switches back to the espresso / coffee function), dip
the milk frother into the container of milk (Figure 19).
9. Make sure not to immerse the line on the milk
frother (indicated by the arrow in Figure 20). Turn the
steam control dial half a turn counter-clockwise until
it stops (Figure 7). Use caution, steam is hot!
10. The steam released will make the milk froth
increase in volume.
Note: To make a creamier froth, dip the milk frother
into the milk and rotate the container with slow
movements from the bottom to the top. It is
recommended to limit steam delivery to no more
than 2 minutes at a time.
11. Once you have achieved the desired froth, stop the steam flow by
turning the steam control dial clockwise until it stops
(Figure 8), and the press the steam function button
(Figure 17 ) to deactivate steam function.
12. Note (Making espresso / coffee after using steam
function): Immediately after using the milk frother,
press the steam function button to deactivate the
steam function. If you press the or the
button to make espresso / coffee again, the
machine is too hot to make espresso / coffee. The green and
lights will flash indicating that the temperature is not suitable for making
espresso / coffee. Simply wait 10 minutes for the machine to cool
down. The lights will illuminate steadily (without flashing) indicating that
the machine is now ready to make espresso / coffee again.
Tip:
To cool the machine down more quickly after having deactivated
the steam function, turn the steam control dial and release some water
from the milk frother into a container, until the green and lights
stop flashing.
